Progress reports are Issued
when a student's work is not

Karate Kids on thelHill Erie's eerie stories

By Debbie Chuzte
Probably all of us, at one
time or another, have, ex-
perienced Insecurities and an-
tagonisms from peers. One of
this summer's hit movies,
"Karate Kid", is heart-felt by
everyone for just this reason, j
The story centers around a
teenage boy who was
uprooted from the security of
his New Jersey home and
thrown into a new hostile
Califomian neighborhood,
complete with butties. The one
thing that makes his new
home more bearable is the
badly needed new-found
friendship with his landlord*
an ancient Oriental man.
The old man, through un-
conventional methods of
teaching karate, returned to
the boy something he had left
behind in his move - con-
fidence . and self-assurance,
along with new attributes -
trust, determination and inner
peace, all enabling him to win
the battle for his sweetheart?
Mercyhurst College has the
benefit of having Its own set of
1
Karate Kids. * Each member
of the Mercyhurst Karate Oub

Cost orConvenience?

Two basic housing options
are available to students of the
college. Living in the dorm or
living in an apartment.!
The cafeteria meal plan is
thejonly option to students
who live in the dorms. On the
other hand, ^students who
reside in the apartments have
the choice of preparing (their
own meals or buying a meal
ticket from the cafeterfa.
For those who live in the
apartments, there are advan-
tages and disadvantages to
both options. Many students
believe buying and preparing
meals has more advantages.
Students injthe apartments
look at the situation from an
economic point of view.
A Fall term meal ticket con-
sisting of all three meals cost
$350. That averages $87.50 a
month. Monthly!grocery bills
can total between $40-$60.
Time constraints r.also do
not allow for many apartment
